Mirror-like water surfaces merge with breathtaking ocean views to set the tone for the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Singer Island, Florida.

The landscape architect used water surfaces and lush seaside planting to connect the resort residences with the surrounding coastal environment. A terraced pool deck design abstracts the notion of an island surrounded by ocean.

The project was developed on a 9-acre ocean front site. A podium level connects two 27-story towers built over a parking garage. This podium level accommodates the porte cochere arrival area, a 50,000 square feet resort amenity deck and a restaurant. The site also includes five ocean-side bungalows and a beach access walkway meandering through restored coastal dunes.
